Cavs Open Up as 2015-16 Favorite
Man, oh, man... how I hate this. The day after a title is won, we immediately feel the need to release odds on next years championship.
Why do I hate this? Because we have no idea what will happen to those teams rosters. No free agency, no trades, no draft, nothing has happened.
The Cavs are the early favorites to take the NBA title in 2015-16. And look, I agree, if Kyrie Irving is healthy, if Kevin love re-signs, if LeBron James re-signs, if they can keep Tristan Thompson. But that's the thing, we don't know ANY of that.
Give it a rest a little bit here, Vegas.
